Abstract

Planar dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has been designed for ozone synthesis using oxygen as working gas. Applied voltage, gas flow rate and gap space between electrodes have been found to be an important parameters affecting ozone concentration. Electrical characterization of the discharge cell including onset voltage, consumed power, and current voltage wave form have been studied. A maximum ozone concentration of 29 g/m3 and maximum efficiency of 14g/kWmin have been obtained for the designed system.
